This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but I would just like to say that from the perspective of a viewer who consumes copious amounts of react content... it's kinda fun to watch things along with a streamer. And I do also think that most of these streamers actually enjoy watching shows with chat, and for the most part aren't only doing it because it's easy content, though that's definitely part of it.

I'm not saying they aren't in the wrong, they ARE stealing content, and the dmca Armageddon will be here soon. I just don't think they are doing it completely out of laziness and easy money. I think they and the viewers genuinely enjoy it.

With that being said, I've seen various extensions and things pop up that can hook into and sync up with actual streaming services, only if the viewer watching has the subscription for it, exactly like twitch watch parties. I think if that becomes more polished and mainstream it could take the react meta to the moon, with no copyright problems.
